Who says everything is doom and gloom?

He also looks the forgotten love child of Ted Denson and Barack Obama*. With huge teeth.

Joking aside, I actually found that kind of moving. Ted Williams fell on hard times and is now clean and sober and wants a job. Well guess what, sports fans!

And the video seems to have been the launchpad to greater success, with the Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly offering Williams a two-year contract for a role that could include voiceover work. Williams says he has also received an offer from NFL Films, the studio operated by America’s professional football league.

“This has been totally, totally amazing,” Williams told the Associated Press. “I’m just so thankful. God has blessed me so deeply. I’m getting a second chance. Amazing.”

Indeed! Of course, in this country and with hair like that, he’d probably just be another suspect in the Jo Yeates murder.
